Class Substring.Prefix

java.lang.Object
com.google.mu.util.Substring.Pattern
com.google.mu.util.Substring.Prefix
All Implemented Interfaces:
CharSequence
Enclosing class:
Substring
public static final class Substring.Prefix extends Substring.Pattern implements CharSequence
An immutable string prefix Pattern with extra utilities such as addToIfAbsent(String), removeFrom(StringBuilder), isIn(CharSequence) etc.

Can usually be declared as a constant to save allocation cost. Because Prefix implements CharSequence, it can be used almost interchangeably as a string. You can:

  • directly prepend a prefix as in HOME_PREFIX + path;
  • or prepend it into a StringBuilder: builder.insert(0, HOME_PREFIX);
  • pass it to any CharSequence-accepting APIs such as CharMatcher.anyOf(...).matchesAnyOf(MY_PREFIX), Substring.first(':').splitThenTrim(MY_PREFIX) etc.
